Anyone using a TPMS on their car? Which one do you have and how do you like it? I've been looking at getting this (http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/orange/tpms.jsp)one from tire rack, but waiting for when I buy new wheels. Still have too much tread on my current set to justify tossing them out.

Well I have a new set of wheels in transit to me right now. They are the 7-spoke civic HFP wheels (look like CTR, but 16"). They will be here on Monday.... Since I have new wheels coming I also ordered the Orange TPMS Retrofit kit to go along with it.

I'll be getting a set of Dunlop Direzza DZ101's mounted on them next week sometime and post up my TPMS experience.

honestly, the TPMS kits are a waste of money. yes they will tell you when your tire is low but i can't justify the cost. plus they break really easily and most shops will not cover it since it's not OEM.. it seriously takes one little slip to break one, trust me because i have.. just once though..
